MidAmeriCon II Schedule

I will be attending parts of Midamericon II in KCMO later this week! Hope to see many of you there.

For my individual reading, I will be reading from my new Birdverse novel, THE UPHOLDING. This is the first time I am going to be reading anything from this book. I’ll probably post more about this a few days before the con, but shortly: Parét (“Geometries of Belonging”), an expelled and mentally ill former student of Magical Geometry, is about to get himself volunteered. To save the world.

I may also read a new SFnal prose poem, “Retrying.”

I will have copies of An Alphabet of Embers and Spelling the Hours for those who’d like to buy!

My full schedule is below.
